Michigan Real Estate Continuing Education

Michigan Real Estate Continuing Education Requirements:

In order to maintain your license, you must obtain 18 credit hours of continuing education every 3 year licensing cycle with a minimum of 2 law specific credit hours per year. The current cycle began January 1, 2015 and ends October 31, 2018.

Please note: The State of Michigan is no longer tracking continuing education credits. Licensees are responsible for tracking and reporting their continuing education classes in the event of a LARA audit. For your convenience, CE Marketplace provides a basic tracking service, free of charge, to assist you in keeping a list of your CE Marketplace certified credit history along with your self-reported CE credits.
